Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Virginia
My husband and I signed a lease a month ago. Now he has a surprise deployment coming up lasting longer than 180 days. Can a "duty commitment letter" from the ship break us from the lease with no penalties?

Yes, you as well as your husband should be covered under the SCRA (Servicemembers Civil Relief Act)
for the situation described provided that you have followed the proper procedures in giving your landlord notice of his pending deployment.
